Sehwag plundered the bowling attack of the Caribbean team by playing the beautiful straight-drives, on-drives, and cuts

Virender Sehwag was known as the “Nawab of Najafgarh.” He made his debut in 2001 against South Africa.

Sehwag was an attacking batsman who liked to dominate the bowlers. What he lacked in the technique, he made it up with his beautiful ‘hand-eye’ coordination. He made batting look simple and hence became one of the best openers of all time.

He scored a ton against the West Indies at Gros Islet in 2006. India was asked to bat first, and they posted a humongous total of 588/8. Sehwag plundered the bowling attack of the Caribbean team by playing the beautiful straight-drives, on-drives, and cuts.

They had Dwayne Bravo, Jerome Taylor, and Pedro Collins as their pace bowlers. Not one to be bogged down, he scored his century in 78 balls. Sehwag got out at 180 of 190 balls which comprised 20 fours and two sixes.
